Axis by axis

Light PvP reads, mostly PvE
Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves
Enemies follow scripted attack paths, not adaptation
Variance3 vs 4
Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Elite Dangerous
Procedural galaxy, mission variance
Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves
Enemy types and approaches are partly randomized nightly
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Elite Dangerous
Ship build, trade routes, engineering grind
Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves
Planning trap placement and ambushes IS the core game
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
